The term ‘Harassment’ is a form of discrimination. It includes any unwanted physical or verbal behaviour that offends or humiliates you. It covers a wide range of behaviours of an offensive nature. It is commonly understood as behaviour that demeans, humiliates or embarrasses a person, and it is characteristically identified by its unlikelihood in terms of social and moral reasonableness. Such behaviour affects the physical and mental well-being of a person. In the legal sense, these are behaviours that appear to be disturbing, upsetting or threatening. They evolve from discriminatory grounds and have an effect of nullifying or impairing a person from taking benefits of their rights. When these behaviours become repetitive, they can also be construed as bullying in common parlance. The continuity of repetitiveness and the distressing, alarming or threatening nature may distinguish it from a mere insult or admonishment.
